Pig Island event – – mark your calendar!

Pig Island is happy to announce its most recent roster of NYC chefs who will prepare and serve up 80 hogs sourced from Finger Lakes’ area farmers. From bone soup to pig head tacos to bacon sticky buns to vegetarian sides, Pig Island emphasizes food sourced directly from farms (not through a distributor) and introduces the food of up-and coming NYC chefs.

Featuring pigs from Autumn’s Harvest Farm, 80 pigs served up by 20+ chefs.

$40 vegetarian ticket (all you can drink and veggie sides) for friends who don’t eat meat!

Taking place on September 10th from 11:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. at historic Colonel’s Row on Governors Island, Pig Island is an all-local event, featuring farmers, chefs, brewers and vintners, bringing the best of New York State to New York City. A special cooking demonstration and giveaway from Wüsthof will include a carving and knife skills demo with butchers Adam Tiberio (Tiberio Custom Meats), iCi, King Phojanakong, Ryan Angulo, and Cathy Erway. Co-hosted by Michael Colameco, host of PBS Channel 13’s Colameco’s Food Show, Pig Island will benefit Food System Network NYC. Additional sponsors include DNAinfo with community partners Earth Matters, Kingsborough Community College Culinary Program and Teen Battle Chef.
